Chapter 1770 The World Is All Illusion, Eternal Life Is the only Truth
"You mean..."
In a closed room that is completely light-proof, sound-proof, and can block all prying eyes, there is a Taoist sitting facing the wall.
This is a white wall, empty and clean, with only a round mirror hanging in the middle.
This scene is frameless, round, colorless and translucent.
It emits a calm light, which is not dazzling, and makes the quiet room not dark.
The Taoist is sitting cross-legged on the futon. He is clearly in the field of vision, but only shows the outline of a light and shadow.
His voice seems to be far away, saying: "Did Zhuang Gaoxian do what the Marquis Wu'an of Qi did in the Frost Wind Valley?"
The person kneeling on one knee behind him is Chu Zicheng, who was drinking in the Gaoling City Winery a few days ago.
As for the loss of the Marquis Wu'an of Qi in the Frost Wind Valley, because of the region where Mei Xuelin was born and the city where he stayed for a long time after entering the demon world, Jing State has a suspicion that is difficult to wash away.
For this reason, he had to make many concessions when facing Qi State.
Chun Yugui's investigation in Tieyan City overnight was naturally sincere, even angry.
But the investigation only stopped at the step that Mei Xuelin was a member of the Equal State.
The arrest of Mei Xuelin's friends in the Heavenly Prison World and his relatives in the present world did not make any further progress.
The Equal State soon publicly stated that the matter of Wu'an Hou of Qi State had nothing to do with them - ironically, compared with the statements of those hegemonic powers, the statement of the Equal State was more credible.
At least from the beginning of its establishment to the present, every public statement of the Equal State has been targeted. They have always admitted what they have done. Unlike the official documents of various countries, they are often disguised.
Back to the matter of Mei Xuelin. Although Mei Xuelin is a member of the Equal State, his identity is actually meaningless in front of a real behind-the-scenes mastermind.
Even if Mei Xuelin is actually Jiang Wang's long-lost brother, the behind-the-scenes mastermind can borrow his body as he wants, and he can only deal with Jiang Wang as he wants.
The weak do not have a self. Mei Xuelin's status as an equal country is more like an eye-catching cover. The manipulator behind the scenes used this to buy time and space for himself.
Chunyu Gui took the survey results to negotiate with Qi State, and it was not surprising that he was not recognized.
This is why the newly built Wu'an City and the newly opened "Wu'an-Nantian" battlefield were built.
For Jing State, the loss of a peerless genius like Jiang Wang in Qi State is not a small loss. They can understand Qi State's anger. They need to maintain the order of the civilized basin. Therefore, they can also make some concessions to Qi State's attitude-this is a person who watches the fire from the other side of the river, and is tolerant of the unfortunate.
But as the most powerful and oldest central empire, they will never allow themselves to be a deaf, blind, and stupid person who can be easily used by anyone.
Find a person from the Central Region with the status of an equal country, live in the city that Jing State is responsible for, and finally attack the genius of Qi State in the presence of Jing State's genius. How presumptuous is this?
Pingdeng State is the chess piece that confuses people, and so is Jing State?
But looking at the world, who has the qualifications to let Jing State pretend to be blind?
Such people or forces do not exist!
So even though it has reached a tacit understanding with Qi State, Jing State has not stopped investigating the incident of Qi State Wu An Hou's fall into Frost Wind Valley.
Even after the comprehensive investigation in Tieyan City, Jing State's highest intelligence agency, Jingshitai, which has the responsibility of monitoring the world, officially took over the case and started a wider range and deeper investigation!
The entire Jingshitai has laid out many lines, tracking various directions and pursuing all possibilities.
And now, Chu Zicheng, the "Mirror Man" from Ji State, seems to have made a breakthrough first.
The members of Jingshitai are generally divided into two categories, namely "Mirror Envoy" and "Mirror Man". One is in the light, and the other is in the dark.
The bright one hangs the mirror to investigate the lawlessness. The dark one hides the mirror to conceal the spy.
Chu Zicheng, who has been active in the Heavenly Prison World for many years, is undoubtedly an excellent mirror person.
Hearing the question from the Taoist in front, he put his hands on his knees and replied seriously: "Because of Jiang Wang's article on attacking the Wusheng Sect and Zhuang Gaoxian's widely circulated inscription on the living beings, many people in the world think that Zhuang Gaoxian and Jiang Wang are in the same boat and share the same hatred. They think they have the same roots and are just seeking revenge in different ways.
But we at the Mirror World Platform know clearly that there is a life-and-death hatred between them.
The previous communication with the demon was enough to prove Zhuang Gaoxian's murderous intention towards Jiang Wang.
Jiang Wang is not a kind man, and he is definitely not a person who repays evil with virtue. The less he reveals to Zhuang Gaoxian, the more it shows that he is determined to kill Zhuang Gaoxian."
"Such a The two are mortal enemies, and neither will let the other go. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that time is on Jiang Wang's side. "
"There is no doubt that Jiang Wang is the world's top genius. In just a few years after the Yellow River Meeting, he has achieved the state of no regrets and extraordinary combat power.
And Zhuang Gaoxian has only achieved the state of Dongzhen not long ago. Looking at the environment inside and outside the village, it seems to be a flourishing place, but in fact the space is limited. There is no opportunity to expand the country's territory, and there is no wise and powerful crown prince inside. Zhuang Gaoxian can neither rely on the national situation to achieve the state of Zhenjun in a short period of time, nor can he abdicate and transcend to sprint for the Dao.
He can only wait for Jiang Wang to slowly catch up with his cultivation...
If my subordinates were Zhuang Gaoxian, they would be unable to sleep or eat well!"
Chu Zicheng had obviously been sorting it out in his mind for a long time. At this moment, he was talking eloquently and in an orderly manner: "The matter of killing Zhang Linchuan thousands of miles away and annihilating the Wu Sheng Cult. It also shows that Jiang Wang's influence has grown to a terrifying level. He sent out a message. , the whole world responded! The Wusheng Cult had spread all over the world and had its roots thousands of miles away, but it was destroyed overnight!
Compared to his cultivation, this kind of influence is a more terrifying thing.
Can Zhuang Gaoxian wait?
Please look at the Heavenly Prison today. Because of Jiang Wang's death, how many forces, how many real people, and how many real kings have come? If Jiang Wang is not dead today, these people may not be able to stand in the ruins of Zhuang Kingdom in the future! "
"According to what you said, Zhuang Gaoxian did have a motive for taking action." The Taoist sitting facing the wall sighed: "But behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, murdering the genius of the human race is undoubtedly a violation of the ancient agreement of the human race. …How dare he do this?”
Chu Zicheng said softly: "The ancient covenant to slay demons is also sacred and inviolable."
The Taoist, who only had an outline of light and shadow, was speechless for a moment.
Although it was Du Ruhui who was flogged naked at Yujing Mountain after the failure of the last trial, anyone with a discerning eye knows where Zhuang Gaoxian's responsibility lies. This pair of wise kings and wise ministers have always been of the same mind. How could Du Ruhui do such a big thing behind Zhuang Gaoxian's back?
It's just that Zhuang Gaoxian is the king of a country and the leader of a subordinate country. Jingguo can't see him disgraced and losing his prestige, so he just cooperates and is vague.
Compared with the ancient covenant of demon-slaying and the common covenant of the human race behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, it is really hard to tell which one is more important.
Zhuang Gaoxian could use the ancient covenant of demon slaying as a weapon to slander Jiang Wangtong Demon... What's so strange about taking the risk of violating the common covenant between humans behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons?
Chu Zicheng added: "So in addition to motivation, I also have courage."
There was a hint of undetectable excitement in his voice.
Because he is pursuing such a big case——
It involves Zhuang Gaoxian, the leader of the Dongzhen Kingdom of the Zhongxing Zhuang Kingdom, the youngest military meritorious prince of the overlord Eastern Qi, and the common morality of the world and the common agreement of the human race! Once this case is revealed, it will surely attract worldwide attention.
And he, Chu Zicheng, had already found the truth and became famous in one fell swoop!
To solve such a major case, don’t you have all the skills, essence stones, and positions you need?
Who could believe that he was born in a small country like Ji Guo and had no background along the way, but could weave such a brilliant future on his own?
The voice of a Taoist with only a silhouette of light and shadow interrupted Chu Zicheng's reverie: "But how to do it? The motives and courage you mentioned are very reasonable, but Zhuang Gaoxian is the king of a country after all, and he should not be moved lightly, let alone Speaking of adventures behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, what's more important is... Jiang Wang is already the Marquis of Wu'an in Qi State, and he has a high position, so he will definitely receive the attention and protection of Qi State. Why can Zhuang Gaoxian know his whereabouts in advance? Take action? This makes no sense. Neither Xiuyuan nor Ji Zhaonan can be controlled by Zhuang Gaoxian."
Chu Zicheng said humbly: "Of course you can't think of the answer, you just entered a misunderstanding of thinking. Why does Zhuang Gaoxian need to grasp Jiang Wang's whereabouts? With the responsibility of the gods recognized by all countries, Jiang Wang will definitely enter the world of monsters. After all, he is a young prince who is attracting the attention of the world. If he delays in fulfilling his responsibilities for a long time, he will definitely attract gossip. There is no need for Jiang Wang to delay. Not a person who is afraid of danger...
Therefore, if Zhuang Gaoxian wants to target Jiang Wang, he only needs to enter the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons in advance and wait. "
The Taoist sitting facing the wall sighed again.
Chu Zicheng continued: "Coincidentally, there is a man named Qiao Jingzong in Zhuang State, one of the so-called Eight Talents of Xin'an. He came to the Heavenly Prison World at the beginning of the year and has been developing in Gaoling City... You should I also noticed that the time when he entered the Heavenly Prison World was when Jiang Wang made extraordinary contributions on the battlefield of Qi Xia and was awarded the title of Marquis for his military exploits! "
"Qiao Jingzong?" the Taoist asked.
Chu Zicheng said: "Gaoling City is not far from Iron Rock City. For a real person in this world, this distance can be completely ignored. Although I don't know how he found such an excellent target as Mei Xuelin, but For the master of Zhongxing in Zhuang Kingdom, this must not be difficult.
If he had been paying attention to the cities of Qi in the Civilization Basin, it would not be difficult to get the news of Jiang Wang's arrival in Heavenly Prison as soon as possible.
There are many opportunities in the world of heaven and hell.
He didn't necessarily have to take action in Frostwind Valley, but there just happened to be a perfect opportunity there... Ji Zhaonan led Jiang Wang to fight Frostwind Valley in a bloody battle.
So he made a prompt decision, found a way to cover himself, left Gaoling City silently, and then commanded Mei Xuelin, who had long been under control, to let Mei Xuelin mix with General Wang Kun's team and go to Frostwind Valley in the name of support. . At the most critical moment, Marquis Wu'an of Qi was buried in one fell swoop. "
"If this is the truth of the incident, all the details are indeed correct..." The Taoist asked again: "Do you think Qiao Jingzong is Zhuang Gaoxian?"
Chu Zicheng said confidently: "Although I don't know how he did it. But there is no other person in the entire Zhuang Kingdom who can achieve real combat power."
"I have also checked the current intelligence. From the beginning of the year to now, Mr. Zhuang has indeed visited the court five times, but these five times, he just sat there and said a few words and did not take action. In other words... it may not be true. ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Zhuang Gaoxian's intelligence, methods, and determination are all top-notch. It's no wonder that he was able to lead the resurgence of the Zhuang Kingdom and set off such a great momentum today.
After Jiang Wang was made a marquis, he was sent as an envoy to Mu State and inspected Nanxia, and his duty to come was postponed again and again.
Zhuang Gaoxian could only wait after entering the demon world.
From the beginning of the year to now, as the king of a country, he actually risked waiting for an opportunity to kill Jiang Wang behind the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, waiting for almost eleven months!
You must know that every day he stayed in Gaoling City, there was one more day of risk of exposure. And his risk was to put the entire Zhuang State's hundreds of years of operation and everything he had as a real person in the world on the edge of a knife.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have given up waiting. If I were him, I don't know how many times I would have collapsed.
But he was able to be calm and live completely as Qiao Jingzong without revealing any flaws! "
The Taoist who was sitting cross-legged sighed again: "Zicheng, your analysis is very good. But these analyses, so far, are just your speculations. "
Chu Zicheng was excited. Although he always claimed that he was not an ordinary person and had contacted this big man a long time ago, this was the first time that this big man called him by a close name like "Zicheng".
What this means is self-evident.
"It is too easy to verify this matter!"
He immediately gave a solution that he had carefully considered: "First, in the name of the Gaoling City military, urgently launch a small-scale war to recruit Qiao Jingzong to fight, so that his plan to return to the world normally will be stranded.
The inspection of the entrance and exit of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons should not be relaxed.
Let Yujing Mountain send a real person to Xin'an City at random, saying that he is going to inspect the Taoist tradition of Zhuangguo National Daoyuan.
If Zhuang Gaoxian is in the country, he must come out to greet him. On the contrary, if Zhuang Gaoxian does not come to greet him in person, then he is still in the Heavenly Prison, and it is Qiao Jingzong! ”
Faced with such a big case that no one had any clue about, Chu Zicheng was able to unravel the mystery and get closer to the truth step by step. Chu Zicheng relied on his superhuman sharpness and carefulness, and on his diligence in reading a lot of information, conducting massive investigations, and almost interpreting Jiang Wang's lifelong grievances.
When he guessed that Qiao Jingzong was Zhuang Gaoxian, he took the initiative to invite him to drink and test a real person in the toast.
What courage he has!
He is diligent, calm and decisive, wise and brave. What reason is there not to move towards the final success?
Yesterday's Jiang Wuan may not be tomorrow's Chu Zicheng!
The Taoist said leisurely: "This is indeed a good way to identify the truth. Even if it is not Zhuang Gaoxian in the end, we have no loss. You have considered it very carefully. But Zicheng, have you ever thought about... If Qiao Jingzong is really Zhuang Gaoxian, if Zhuang Gaoxian is such a terrible person, how could he not find you when you investigate him like this? "
Chu Zicheng was a little stunned: "I... subordinates, subordinates are very careful. Well concealed. "
The Taoist sighed: "Zicheng, you are indeed a rare talent. It's a pity for you for so many years..."
Chu Zicheng suppressed his joy and said humbly: "For Jingshitai and Dajing, Zicheng is willing to serve-"
His words stopped abruptly.
Feeling the rapidly dissipating vitality in his body, he looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
Until he heard the word "willing" added from this person's mouth.
"I gave you a chance... But to welcome the eternal night like this, I think you are willing, right?" The Taoist asked.
Only then did he know that the Taoist in front of him sighed many times for him.
But...
"Why... why?" Chu Zicheng struggled and asked with his last obsession.
A hand covered his eyes.
It soothed his unwillingness and soothed everything he had.
At the end of his life, he heard a faint voice saying-"The world is all illusion, and eternal life is the only truth. "
His soul seemed to explode, and before entering the eternal darkness, he felt a fear that shook his body and mind -
"Dao...Dao thief!"
